Unilateral striatal damage following status epilepticus of ipsilateral frontal lobe origin
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 35-year-old man with an old contusional haematoma in the right frontal lobe developed status epilepticus (SE) of right frontal origin. On magnetic resonance (MR) images 10 days after SE, the right striatum showed signal enhancement with Gd-DTPA administration. Subsequent MR imaging 1 month later indicated prolonged T1 and T2 relaxation times in the right striatum. Prolonged seizure activity in the frontal lobe may have induced excitatory neurotoxicity in the ipsilateral striatum, with occurrence of delayed neuronal damage as a result.

P-42: Protective Effects of Melatonin on The Testis in Post-Status Epilepticus Rats Following Lithium-Pilocarpin Injection As A Model of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE)
Background: Reproductive dysfunction and endocrine disorders are common among men with complex partial seizures of temporal lobe origin. More than 90% of men with epilepsy have abnormal semen analysis, including decreased sperm count, abnormal morphology, and impaired motility. The aim of this study was the assay of chronic treatment with melatonin during the latent phase and chronic phase of e...
متن کاملBi-lateral changes to hippocampal cholesterol levels during epileptogenesis and in chronic epilepsy following focal-onset status epilepticus in mice.
Brain cholesterol homeostasis has been shown to be disrupted in neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases. Investigations in animal models of seizure-induced brain injury suggest that brain cholesterol levels are altered by prolonged seizures (status epilepticus) and are a feature of the pathophysiology of temporal lobe epilepsy. The present study measured hippo...
متن کاملMalignant autosomal dominant frontal lobe epilepsy with repeated episodes of status epilepticus: successful treatment with vagal nerve stimulation.
Autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE) is a familial partial epilepsy syndrome characterized by seizures suggesting a frontal lobe origin occurring predominantly during sleep. Up to a third of patients may have refractory seizures, with repeated episodes of status epilepticus, intellectual disability of variable degree and psychiatric disturbances. We report a patient with ...
متن کاملIpsilateral head deviation related to orbito-frontal and fronto-polar seizures.
The localizing and lateralizing values of eye and head ictal deviations during frontal lobe seizures are still matters of debate. In particular, no specific data regarding the origin of ipsilateral head turning in frontal lobe seizures are available. We report a patient with frontal lobe seizures associated with reproducible, early, ipsilateral head deviation, where imaging and video-stereo-ele...
متن کاملCognitive planning in humans: neuropsychological, neuroanatomical and neuropharmacological perspectives.
In recent years, considerable progress has been made in understanding the cognitive and neuroanatomical basis of high-level planning behaviour through a combination of neuropsychological, neuropharmacological and functional neuroimaging approaches. In this article, early evidence suggesting a relationship between planning impairments and damage to the frontal lobe is reviewed and several contem...
